This is not intended to deflect criticism directed at Napier. I have vocally supported Napier and all Florida HC's until they are not HC or have proven they are not up to the task. I have caught up with the rest of you now knowing Napier is not the dude.
But where are the players getting into the grill of other players when they do something stupid? Instead of aggressively making the point that the player screwed up, it appears they just pat the dumbass on the butt and tell them things will get better. This is not a time for sympathy and compassion, it is the the time for other players to chew the player out and tell him get his act together or go to the bench.
Granted this is not as important as the coaches jobs but have you ever seen a winning team lacking alphas? Unleash the "dogs of war", play the youngsters and tell them to be aggressive and have fun. As far as I am concerned the rest of the season is a tryout to find out who wants to be a Gator and who wants to hit the road.
